BlogED

A blog (an abbreviation of weblog) is a personal website, organised like a diary or journal, which shows the author’s most recent additions first. It enables the author to write regular entries expressing their view of events. Depending on the permission levels set for blogED, the readers (audience) of the blog are able to create a ‘post’ to a blog or ‘comment’ on a post.

To request opening of ebackpack at your school, your Principal should call the ICT Support Desk and request provisioning.

Adobe Connect

Adobe Connect is a web conferencing platform that includes a comprehensive set of tools and features for extending learning beyond the classroom and conventional training environments. It allows computer users in various locations to share events such as meetings and classes.
